Liz Romero

Chief Mission Services Officer

Chief Mission Services Officer Liz Romero oversees the organization’s wide range of career services for Southern Nevadans seeking to obtain local employment and thriving careers with upward mobility.

Romero comes to Las Vegas from Charlotte-based Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont. Through her leadership, her team expanded their outreach to untapped North and South Carolina counties in their 18-county service area. Growth driven by enhanced service delivery and expanded training offerings necessitated the relocation of a career and training center to a new facility with double the square footage. Romero started her journey with Goodwill in 2014, at Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina (NWNC) in Asheville, after working in the mental health field and foster care system, where she made a meaningful impact on countless lives.

Liz earned an MBA with a concentration in Social Entrepreneurship from Lenoir Rhyne University as well as BAs in Psychology and Art Therapy from Mars Hill University. She is a Certified Career Coach and has a Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University.

In her spare time, Liz enjoys hiking, practicing yoga, reading, going to concerts, and traveling.
